VINTAGE VIBRATO
Replacing the strings
Replace the strings one by one. Fix the ball end onto the post of the bar (Fig. 1 B), extend
the string over the bar, and then wrap it around the peg. For a model with a retainer bar
(Fig. 1 A), VBX60/VBX80, pass the string over the bar and then beneath the retainer bar
before wrapping it around the peg. While replacing strings, always pull the string lightly
toward the headstock and exercise care not to allow the ball-end to go off the post. Check
that the string is correctly placed on the saddle while tuning. After completing tuning,
proceed to replacement of the next string. After finishing replacing all strings, carry out
tuning again for the entire unit.
Caution
Removing all strings at the same time may have a serious impact on the state
of each section of the guitar due to sudden changes of tension imposed on the
guitar. Be sure to replace the strings one by one.
